Tmpfs?  Do this after file systems have been unmounted?

No, but the proposed in-kernel swapoff code needs access to /dev, which
may be on a tmpfs. So you can't unmount it before swapoff.

So fix the in-kernel code to not require access to /dev. If it has the vnode, I don't see why it would need /dev to be present... that's just broken.
